I feel like people are acting as though this is the one and only reason why I take take the stance I do. The reason I posted that story is because the first time I suggested something like this happening, the response from a lot of people was that this would never happen, and that no man would never dress as women to peep at them in bathrooms and lockerrooms. Well, yes they would. It's a real existing fetish similar to peeping tomery. And given a better opportunity for the pervs to do this may increase this sort of incident. We'd be taking that risk at the expense of women being violated by men in their own bathrooms and lockerrooms. And that's not fair to them/us.
And as pointed out by me, other countries do allow transsexuals to use the toilets for the gender that they identify as and this is not a problem that occurs.

What do you even mean by people who are physical men? You mean people who have penises or someone who looks like a man in drag?
Because if it's the former then no pre-operative male to female transsexual is going to let anyone see their penis and wouldn't want to reveal the presence of one. And if it's the latter then you're ignoring the fact that for the most part you won't be able to tell the difference just by looking at someone. There are plenty of cisgendered women that can look like men. Not to mention intersex people. Why no mention of them creeping out women in bathrooms or locker rooms? What are they supposed to do?
And if it is the latter, then the laws recently passed mean that you now have to share your locker room with trans men who really do have male brains and lots of testosterone.
